Cultural Tip
The structure "C'est quoi…" is perfectly natural in spoken French but sounds informal; in written or formal contexts you should use "Quel est…". Also, French speakers often differentiate between "voyager en train" (train travel) and "voyager en avion" (air travel) when discussing comfort, speed, and environmental impact.
